Roadside traps ... Thanks Marge Rusnak!

I don't know if these particular stories are true but we do hear about these types of things happening so we can at least be reminded to be aware and use caution.

A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI , JACKSON , MS ....

SITUATION...

While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw

an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it.

For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of

thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I

called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is

what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....



"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now

plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their

vehicle and get out of the car.



"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department

where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in

it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned

baby.



"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or

grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the

woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man,

they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.



DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.



"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO

NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY

WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.



THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL

TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."



Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe.



Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES

TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.



WARNING # 2

Some knew about the red light on cars, but not the112.

It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.



Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and he had back up already on the way.



Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.



*Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112.



You may want to send this to every woman (and man) you know; it may save a life.



This applies to ALL 50 states

PLEASE PASS ALONG TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT CAN SAVE A LIFE.
